Unified Exchanges API for Node.js

A powerful, unified interface for interacting with major cryptocurrency exchanges (Binance, Bybit). This package simplifies the process of connecting to exchanges, fetching market data, managing real-time streams, and executing orders across both Spot and Futures markets.

Installation

npm install unified-exchanges-api-node

Getting Started

The entry point for using this package is the ExchangeFactory. It allows you to create a unified connection to a specific exchange.

import { ExchangeFactory, BinanceUserData } from 'unified-exchanges-api-node';

// Initialize connection (API Key & Secret are optional for public data)
const binance = ExchangeFactory.create('binance', 'YOUR_API_KEY', 'YOUR_API_SECRET');

// Access Spot, Futures, or Streams
async function main() {
    // Example: Get Spot Market Price
    const ticker = await binance.spot.getExchangeInfo();
    console.log(ticker);

    // Example: Connect to Futures Depth Stream
    await binance.streams.futuresDepthStream(['BTCUSDT'], (data) => {
        console.log('Depth Update:', data);
    });

    // Example: Subscribe to User Data Events (if keys provided)
    if (binance.userData) {
        await binance.userData.init();
        
        // Listen to position updates
        BinanceUserData.Emitter.on(BinanceUserData.POSITION_EVENT, (symbol, position) => {
           console.log(`Position Update for ${symbol}:`, position);
        });
    }
}

main();

Architecture Overview

When you create a connection using ExchangeFactory, it returns an IUnifiedExchange object containing:

1. spot: An IExchangeClient instance for Spot market operations.
2. futures: An IExchangeClient instance for Futures market operations.
3. streams: An IStreamManager instance for handling WebSocket streams.
4. userData (Optional): An IUserDataManager instance for managing account state (orders, positions) via WebSockets and REST synchronization.

API Documentation

ExchangeFactory

Static class to instantiate exchange connections.

create(exchangeId: string, apiKey?: string, apiSecret?: string): IUnifiedExchange

Creates a new unified exchange instance.

Parameter	Type	Description
exchangeId	string	The exchange identifier (e.g., 'binance', 'bybit').
apiKey	string	(Optional) Your API Key.
apiSecret	string	(Optional) Your API Secret.

Returns: IUnifiedExchange

Spot & Futures Client (IUnifiedExchange.spot / .futures)

Both properties implement the IExchangeClient interface.

Note: Authorized (trading) methods are NOT implemented for the spot client. They are only available for futures.

Connection Management

• closeListenKey(): Close the user data stream listen key.

Market Data (Public)

• getExchangeInfo(): Returns unified exchange info with symbol details.
• getStaticDepth(params): Fetch order book snapshot.
• getKlines(params): Fetch historical candlestick data.
• getAggTrades(params): Fetch recent aggregate trades.
• getLatestPnlBySymbol(symbol): Get PnL for a specific symbol.

Account Data (Authorized)

• getBalance(): Get account wallet balance.
• getPositionRisk(): Get position risk information.
• getOpenPositions(): Get all open positions.
• getOpenPositionBySymbol(params): Get open position for a specific symbol.

Order Management (Authorized - Futures Only)

• getOpenOrders(): Fetch all active orders.
• getOpenOrdersBySymbol(params): Fetch active orders for a symbol.
• cancelAllOpenOrders(params): Cancel all orders for a symbol.
• cancelOrderById(params): Cancel a specific order by ID.

Order Execution (Authorized - Futures Only)

• marketBuy(params) / marketSell(params): Execute Market orders.
• limitBuy(params) / limitSell(params): Execute Limit orders.
• stopOrder(params): Execute Stop Loss orders.
• stopMarketOrder(params): Execute Stop Market orders.
• trailingStopOrder(params): Execute Trailing Stop orders.
• reduceLimitOrder(params): Place a reduce-only limit order.
• reducePosition(params): Close/Reduce a position.
• customOrder(orderInput): Send a custom order payload.

---

Stream Manager (IUnifiedExchange.streams)

Implements IStreamManager. Handles real-time WebSocket connections.

Lifecycle

• closeAllSockets(): Closes all active WebSocket connections.
• closeById(id): Closes a specific socket by its ID.

Spot WebSockets

• spotDepthStream(symbols, callback): Subscribe to order book depth updates.
• spotCandleStickStream(symbols, interval, callback): Subscribe to candlestick/kline updates.
• spotBookTickerStream(symbols, callback): Subscribe to best bid/ask (book ticker) updates.
• spotTradeStream(symbols, callback): Subscribe to real-time trade execution updates.

Futures WebSockets

• futuresDepthStream(symbols, callback): Subscribe to order book depth updates (Futures).
• futuresCandleStickStream(symbols, interval, callback): Subscribe to candlestick/kline updates (Futures).
• futuresBookTickerStream(symbols, callback): Subscribe to best bid/ask (book ticker) updates (Futures).
• futuresTradeStream(symbols, callback): Subscribe to real-time trade execution updates (Futures).
• fundingStream(symbols, callback): Subscribe to funding rate updates.
• futuresUserDataStream(callback): Subscribe to private account updates (order status, balance updates, etc.).

User Data Manager (IUnifiedExchange.userData)

Implements IUserDataManager. Available only if API keys are provided.

The UserData manager acts as a Single Source of Truth for your account state. It initializes by fetching a REST snapshot of your Orders and Positions, and then maintains this state in real-time via a private WebSocket stream.

Usage (Event Subscription)

To listen for real-time updates (like order fills or position changes), you must subscribe to the Static Events of the specific exchange class (BinanceUserData or BybitUserData).

Example:

import { ExchangeFactory, BinanceUserData, BybitUserData } from 'unified-exchanges-api-node';

const binance = ExchangeFactory.create('binance', 'KEY', 'SECRET');

if (binance.userData) {
    // 1. Initialize (Start Stream + Fetch Snapshot)
    await binance.userData.init();

    // 2. Subscribe to Static Events
    BinanceUserData.Emitter.on(BinanceUserData.POSITION_EVENT, (symbol, position) => {
        console.log(`[Binance] Position updated for ${symbol}`, position);
    });

    BinanceUserData.Emitter.on(BinanceUserData.ORDER_EVENT, (symbol, orders) => {
        console.log(`[Binance] Order list updated for ${symbol}`, orders);
    });
}

Event Reference

All UserData classes (BinanceUserData, BybitUserData) export the following static event constants:

Event Constant	Description	Payload Arguments
POSITION_EVENT	Emitted when a position is updated.	(symbol: string, position: PositionData)
ORDER_EVENT	Emitted when the order list changes.	(symbol: string, orders: OrderData[])
TRIGGER_POSITION_EVENT	Emit this to request current position.	(symbol: string)
TRIGGER_ORDER_EVENT	Emit this to request current orders.	(symbol: string)

Manual Trigger Example:

If you need to get the current state for a symbol on-demand via the event system:

// Request state check
BinanceUserData.Emitter.emit(BinanceUserData.TRIGGER_POSITION_EVENT, 'BTCUSDT');

// ... The 'POSITION_EVENT' will be emitted immediately with the cached data.

Class Properties & Methods

• userData: Holds the current synchronous state:
  • positions: Array of PositionData.
  • orders: Array of OrderData.
• init(): Connects the WebSocket and fetches initial snapshots.
• requestAllOrders(): Force-refresh all open orders from API.
• requestAllPositions(): Force-refresh all open positions from API.
